Description

“Of all the various acts of inequity throughout time, none was more severe than the submission forced upon the indigenous peoples of the earth by their earthly demi-god counterparts. Robbing these peoples of their God given cultural and traditional knowledge of survival, void of cultural references and alienated from their traditional survival techniques and skills, the indigenous peoples had no other choice than to accept the ways of the earthly demi-gods, which was modernity and that came with many social disadvantages, worst of all, they would become second and third class citizens in a racially divided and dystopic world.
The standard procedure was the implementation of acts that were intended to impart the greatest degree of fear, the fear of death and the fear of dying; whatever methods the noble savages thought would break the barbarian savages into submission. All manner of unthinkable acts of atrocity were employed against the indigenous peoples, because the objectives of the earthly demi-gods had to be met, which was to expropriate the lands and natural resources from these savages, these ‘uncivilized’ people.”
The work of Niggers Sing Redemption Songs: Reggae, The heart-beat of a people takes aim at reaffirming the psyche and glory of the Black self as of utter importance in our efforts to make our world a better place. The unconscionable disregard for the glory of the Black self and by refusing to use it, has successfully stripped away Black humanity from the Black indigenous peoples’ collective consciousness; overall leading to a ‘niggerization’ process done for the benefits of the barbaric and ignobly self-acclaimed earthly demi-gods. The Black peoples of the world must bring back the ‘Black’ love of self and all things Black, that is your redemption and then, real life will be given to you.
Additionally, what was most evidently conspicuous and surprising was a revelation that had emerged from the research of this study. The study has discovered evidences, which would indicate that because of social biases, for example, racial prejudices, and out-right arrogance, coupled with miss-education and deprecated mindsets, the attitudes of many Jamaican historians, the down trodden sectors of the Jamaican society were undermined and were not given meaningful historical documentations. The academics did not document, accurately, the accounts of Afro-Jamaican culture, for instance, the Rastafarians input into the cultural history of Jamaica. Although many academics of the time were themselves Afro- Jamaican, non-sympathizers to the Rasta movement, and, in most cases, just a generation or two removed from slavery, they were non-commiserated towards their people’s history and struggles. So much so, that they did not consider the documentation of their Afro-Jamaican culture as a priority, and as such, a deficit in proper documentation of historical material exists today. This becomes quite evident in the footnotes, where due to the lack of material, there is a redundancy in reference materials
Therefore, in order to add further depth to the stock of the genre of Black Liberation Literature, this work advances a redemptive process which is aimed, primarily, at every individual that has been niggerized by White supremacy and their racist systems. Therein, that each nigger would cultivate an awareness that would be congruent with his/her Black redemption, as is outlined in this literary work. Thus, that he/her would be empowered sufficiently, to rise above the White supremacist world that had ungratefully grafted him/ her and had restrained him/her to oppressive states of meaningless existences. Black people must rise above their common bound, the social degradation of niggerization, a social construct of the White racist demi-gods and to accept the fundamental merits and opportunities that a Black redemption would have provided, which is, the reconstructed Black self, with all its social advantages, because White America will not change and they will not change for the sake of niggers or will they accept niggers as Whites. Sorry, but no skin bleaching formula will change Blacks into White. The Black experience is not the undoing of the White racist demi-gods; instead, it is the doings of the reconstructed niggers towards the redemption, freedom, of Black individuals.

The voices and rhythms of redemption songs
Foreword
The fools have said in their hearts there is no God and they have done all sorts of abominable and unimaginable things to the earth, to nature and to humankind. So much so, that in negating the existence of God they have made themselves God; earthly demi-gods, gods that partly belong. Wanting to become gods had been a longstanding desire and because they were driven by lust for wealth, greed and power, wanting to be exalted, to be like The Almighty God, powerful, these earthly demi-gods robbed God, literally. They robbed God, when they concocted schemes like colonization, imperialism, genocide, and the degradation of the Earth, by destroying the life sustaining balances of nature, just so, humankind would praise and worship them.
Yet of all the various acts of larceny, none was more severe than when the earthly demi-gods had forced the indigenous peoples of the earth into submission, robbing them of their God given cultural and traditional knowledge of survival. Void of cultural references and alienated from their traditional survival techniques and skills, the indigenous people had no other choice than to accept the ways of the earthly demi-gods, which was modernity and that came with many social disadvantages, worst of all, they would become second and third class citizens in a racially divided and dystopic world.
In many instances, subjugation was a slow process and in other instances, it was very swift, however, it always led to dystopia. It took many decades, centuries even; and it would begin with a process of alienation and finalized with self-policing, where all humanity, some more than others, would succumb to the power of the earthly demi-gods. The process of alienation was disguised under the banner of uplifting fallen humanity, civilizing the barbarians, the heathens, but it had entailed many egregious acts of brutality and intimidation, notwithstanding the most heinous of all, murder.
The standard procedure was the implementation of acts that were intended to impart the greatest degree of fear, the fear of death and the fear of dying; whatever methods the noble savages thought would break the barbarian savages into submission. All manner of unthinkable acts of atrocity were employed against the indigenous peoples, because the objectives of the earthly demi-gods had to be met, which was to expropriate the lands and natural resources from these savages, these ‘uncivilized’.
The tried and tested employment of tactics such as divide and conquer, as coupled with intimidation, was executed methodically, until it had reached perfection; thus, resulting in the science of colonization. A science, which when enacted, left most of the indigenous peoples, the downtrodden, of the world under the feet of the earthly demi-gods, even now in these modern times, fallen humanity are feeling still, the stings, lost identities and self-hatred, from the venoms of these earthly demi-gods. The disenfranchised had succumbed, in most cases, unwillingly, to the might of these earthly demi-gods and had become strangers unto themselves, estranged from their cultural identities and afraid of their traditional ways of life. In the meanwhile participating in the cursed social sciences of colonized cultures and traditions, of which many were clueless and were restrained in marginalized quarters, to be held, socially as second and even as, third class citizens.
For the earthly demi-gods, dystopia was an international campaign of war. Europe had declared war upon the downtrodden peoples of the earth. The deployment and the directives of European armies were geared for total conquest, the ultimate control of land and the subjugation of all nations, beginning with the uncivilized, those that were not White and were not Europeans, by any means necessary. However, to enact this robbery, both the blessing of the Holy Roman Catholic church and its associated decrees, as well as, the might and the will of the European States had to be enacted, partners in crime, conspiring to rob both God and humankind.
Note carefully the animistic religious practitioners, the uncivilized, who had worshipped their ancestors and nature. These savages, the indigenous people, had a religion that dealt with the protection of the ecology, because they revered nature and their religions ran counter to the monotheistic religion of the civilized noble savages, the earthly demi-gods. The earthly demi-gods existed to seek out wealth and power, sanctioned by their monotheistic religion that gravitated around a promise of an after- life existence.
Despite the boast of civilizing the uncivilized barbarians, the earthly demi-gods had no care at all for life and that has been proven time and time again throughout history. Without apology, it can be ascertained that they did not care, even, about their own lives and contrary to the aspirations and beliefs of the earthly demi-gods, the indigenous barbarians were preoccupied with life here on earth and their culture and religion were fundamental to the preservation of nature, as was denoted by the reverence shown to their many animistic gods. Inversely, it was selfishness that motivated the noble savages or the earthly demi-gods, the selfish lust for power and it amounted to nothing more than a delusion that was disguised in selflessness, which they declared as the civilization of fallen humanity, mere trickery.
Moreover, since the believers in the monotheistic Christian religions were, in fact, wealth and power seekers, they were driven to destroy the natural ecological balances set by Creation, God and Nature, as is now evident. At this point the question comes to fore, who are the real savages and heathens, those that care not about the earth and nature, or those who did care and were plucked away from their ancestral cultures and traditions?
What should be obvious is, with the combined efforts of both the European church and states, only God and nature could rescue the downtrodden peoples of the earth f
